You can see it now: Fresh air. Blue skies. Skiing down the mountain with your kid. Everyone smiling, laughing and having a good time.

You get off the chairlift with your child. Together you ski down the mountain and feel the thrill of sliding fast down a snowy hill. The picture in your mind is a perfect winter day outdoors.

We can help you make this happen.


“As a new ski mom I was really nervous about doing things "right" on the ski hill with my kids. I loved feeling prepared with the right clothing and attitude and we even watched some of the videos together so my older kids could learn a few things too. I'm super grateful to the Online Family Ski School for giving me the confidence I needed to help my kids on the hill!”-Jess Curran, Idaho

"I feel like the Online Family Ski School gave me lots of little tips that made the whole process of teaching my boys to ski easier and more positive. I don't think I would have thought of playing "red light, green light" on my own, but it is one of the boys' favorites and it teaches a skill while having fun and playing a game."

- Sarah S, mom of 6, 4 and 2 year old boys

For some families that may be true, but as parents you'll spend more hours skiing with your child than any instructor ever could. The skills, tips and games in this course can help you build on the ski knowledge your 3-10 year old already has from lessons, or it can introduce those ski skills for the first time.
